Thank you for your reply.

I will comment on your both replies here.

To be honest, I do know that universities care more for money rather than education, but getting a PhD is not something easy these days.
Even if I am a self-funded student, these days it is hard to get an offer as there are millions of filthy rich students and governments worldwide that pays billions of pounds for their students. Also a lot of students are doing researches on the same topics (which is something not acceptable in any high educational institute)
What happened is that universities has reached to a level they are not able to accept all these students, because they do not have enough resources to support this huge number of students.
So since 2010, universities started to search for good to perfect quality students who are very creative and their research topics are hot and brand new topics.

In my case, what happened is that all my research proposals are related to Computer Science and Technology. We are in an era were CS and IT are things none of us can survive without, so in U.K. these 2 majors are very sensitive and universities need very genius students and very strong research topics to offer any applicant a place.
The second issue are my marks. I graduated with a PASS, and I think any student who got a pass in his masters needs a miracle from God to get into PhD and to find a university that accepts him.

Regarding supervisors, everyone on earth is telling me do not look at the university name or rank, just find the best supervisor as he or she will be the person whom I will see during all the 3 to 4 years!
He or she is most important than any other thing.

Again thank you for your reply.

Hello,

This is my second thread about the same topic.

I hope this time I will get some useful information, and people will be a bit active on this thread.

After a suffering of 3 years and writing 5 different proposals, I got an offer from the University of Salford.

Does anyone knows if it is really a good university to do PhD in it?

Are there any old or current PhD students in it here on this website?

Please guys I need any kind of help regarding this.

As I mentioned above, I really suffered a lot until I got an offer, and I do not have any other options.

I am an international self-funded student who will pay thousands of pounds, so if it is not that good for PhD studies, I will reject the unconditional offer.

Please guys try your best to help me.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you so much my friend :)

Thank you for your reply.

I prefer to not to mention the title of my research as it related to my government.
I just can tell you it is in the school of computing, science and engineering.

Hello All,

I got a PhD offer from Salford University.

I need your advice, because I have few concerns about the university.

- Is it a good University and worth doing PhD in it, and does it have a good ranking?

- Does the University cares a lot for their PhD's students or no?

- Is the PhD system in it different than other universities? (or each university in the U.K. has its own system).

- How is the university/city life/environment?

- How are the Staff, Supervisors, and people there?

Pardon me guys some of the questions might look silly, but I do care a lot to know about the university more.
I am an international self-funded student who will spend 10 thousands of pounds and will live there for 3 to 4 years.

I prefer replies from old or current students who studied or already studying PhD at Salford between 2016 and 2018.

Thank you in advance.

I hope you can help me :)

Thank you so much guys.

I have contacted the Admission Team and they told me that they need few weeks to the an offer letter, because my application needs to be signed and approved by 3 different people in the school and the admission, so I need to have more patience and wait.

Again thank you :)

Hello All,

Few days I did a PhD interview, the Doctor who interviewed me told me that I am interested in your research proposal and he wants me. After the interview finished he told me I will email the admission team that I want this student, he even told me the next intake will be in July, so it means that I am accepted.

My problem is that until today I did not receive the offer letter which is making me worried, because I have no proofs between my hand that I am 100% accepted.

Does anybody knows how many days I should wait to receive the offer letter?

I have done the interview on the 17th of April 2018.
The University is Salford.

I hope you can help me guys.

Thank you in advance.
